Profile
Trading 212 is a self-directed platform. The comparison records the service as a self-directed investing platform. Account types in the reviewed material: Invest account, Stocks & Shares ISA for eligible UK users.
Recorded investment access covers Stocks, ETFs, Fractional investing and Automated Pies. Access to major US and European exchanges; the Invest account supports 12 global currencies. Multi-currency support is recorded as yes – 12 currencies cited. For a client who may change country, those fields matter because market access, currency and product range are recorded separately and do not automatically travel with the client.
No traditional managed-portfolio service; automated Pies are user-directed. A direct platform account is structurally different from a wealth manager that agrees a mandate, and from an adviser or broker that introduces the client to another firm. The client deals with the platform named here.
The supported-country list spans the UK, much of Europe, Australia and selected other markets. The entity depends on country of residence. Address or residency changes can require entity or account changes in some cases; supported-country rules apply. Product availability, the contracting entity, regulation, account eligibility, currency handling, fees, custody and investor protection can differ by country. Those points sit in the questions below rather than being treated as settled by this profile.
